"I can't tell you it's more special, but definitely after these three years to stand here with the trophy it is amazing," said 2011 Wimbledon champion Kvitova during the on-court trophy ceremony.

It was the first Grand Slam final pitting two players born in the 1990s.

Kvitova, the biggest hitter in women's tennis this side of Serena Williams, punished Bouchard time and again with an array of first-strike power tennis.

She hit aces. She pounced on returns. She negated Bouchard's best weapon – her ability to squeeze the court and take away time from opponents – by whizzing winners into the corners and rushing Bouchard into errors.

"Kvitova was really playing aggressive and playing well, and Genie got a little confused on how to counter," said Bouchard's coach, Nick Saviano. "It steamrolled on her," he added.

Not known for her defense, Kvitova showed her improved movement, deflecting an angled backhand passing shot at full sprint that even caught her by surprise.

"Maybe it was magic," said Kvitova later, who admitted she was in the "zone."

The 24-year-old Kvitova broke Bouchard three times in the first set and kept the momentum rolling in the second with three more. She hit 28 winners and 12 unforced errors while winning 58% of Bouchard's service points.

"I didn't have many answers on the court today," said Bouchard, who gave Kvitova full credit for outplaying her and was as poised in defeat as she has been during the fortnight in victory.

"That was a thing of beauty," said 1999 Wimbledon winner Lindsay Davenport on BBC TV. "You can't even blame Bouchard. She didn't get a chance to play tennis."

The match was the quickest final in 31 years. The last time a Wimbledon women's finalist won just three games was 1992 when Steffi Graf beat Monica Seles 6-2, 6-1. The last time a loser won fewer than that was 1975 when Billie Jean King defeated Evonne Goolagong Cawley 6-0, 6-1.

Named after Princess Eugenie (the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II) who watched from the Royal Box, Bouchard will have to wait to be crowned the new princess of Wimbledon.

At 20 and in just her second season, Bouchard reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open just 14 months after competing in her first Grand Slam event. She is the only player in 2014 to reach the semifinals or better in the year's first three majors.

Bouchard, who was seeking to become Canada's first Grand Slam champion, will rise to a career-high No. 7 on Monday -- a new Canadian best. "It was really tough for me today, but I'm proud of how I've played this tournament," she said.

Kvitova will move up to No. 4.

The small-town Czech has admitted that she struggled to cope with the newfound fame and attention when she won Wimbledon three years ago at age 21.

"It's my second title," she said. "I hope that now it's going to be a little bit easier for me."

Her results, especially in majors, have been all over the map, and she has earned a reputation for lapses in play that have resulted in an abundance of three-set matches.

Following her 2011 All-England Club win, she failed to reach the second week in six of her next 11 majors, including first- and third-round exits at the Australian Open and Roland Garros this season.

Tracy Austin said that Kvitova has the weapons to become an all-time great on grass like Martina Navratilova, the Prague-born American who won nine Wimbledon singles crowns.

"It's all about consistency," said Austin, the two-time U.S. Open winner here commentating for BBC. "When she starts to play well, is she going to be able to sustain it? That's why we call her three-set Petra."

Still, Kvitova remains the only player born in the 1990s to hoist a Grand Slam trophy.
